I would like to understand the "standard" explanation for the acceleration of solar wind particles as they leave the solar surface. Could someone help me out? I'm specifically interested in explaining this sort of image from the European Space Agency.

I can think of a way to explain this behavior using a non standard model, but I was curious how one might try to explain the observation of solar wind acceleration in standard theory.
